According to Bud Kennedy's excellent Eats Beat column, we learned that Freebirds is coming to Grapevine. Freebirds of course is the famous burrito place that originates from College Station. The RJG has been to the original Dallas location (upper Greenville), Addison and Far North Ft. Worth. The latter, it could be argued, is really in NE Tarrant (at least it is by my definition). Still, the Grapevine location is closer and more convenient for us and many others. Freebirds is an excellent alternative to Chipotle's and Qdoba (both of which we heartiy recommend as well) - and they have some fiery salsas to accompany any burrito you choose.

C'mon in everyone!

Ratings

5 - Best of the Best! We rarely give this rating out (less than a handful). Must be a truly exceptional place that we've been to many times, over many years, and never fails. No new place can get a 5. This one takes time to achieve.4.5 - Super, one of the RJG's favorite restaurants. This is also a rare designation and truly represents some of our all-time favorites. Must have visited 3 times to receive this grade.4 - Excellent, and worth going to over and over in a year (and sometimes we do just that if time allows).3.5 - Very good, and we may go 2 to 3 times a year.3 - Good, perhaps worth a visit on rare occasion. Maybe once a year or every other year.2.5 - Average, would need encouragement to go back at all.2 - Disappointing, not what we had hoped or expected.1.5 - Terrible, and recommend strongly against.1 - Difficult to finish the meal it's so bad.0.5 - Walked out in disgust. Calling health department... (there's only one of these and not recorded here)
